9/11. More by luck than judgement. Very strange collection of obscure terms.

Apart from Petrichor, I've never heard of any of these words used in the English Language and I'm English. To be honest, some of them sound foreign.

10/11. This American missed Neptune's uouue (thought he was being rambuncius - sp? - not stealthy). Obviously had to guess at all of them, but those I got right seemed to be rather descriptive. This turned out to be fun.

'Nurdle' was a word claimed to have been invented in the early 1960s by Michael Bentine (ne of the original Goons). It was alleged to have been a term used in an old Somerset pub game called 'drats'.

11/11 must have done this quiz before, as to their origins, well it doesn't matter, English above all other human languages, steals words when it finds a better ones elsewhere.
